Heinkel He111
The Heinkel He 111 was a German bomber aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Due to restrictions placed on Germany after the First World War prohibiting bombers, it masqueraded as a civil airliner, although from conception the design was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber.
Perhaps the best-recognised German bomber due to the distinctive, extensively glazed "greenhouse" nose of later versions, the Heinkel He 111 was the most numerous Luftwaffe bomber during the early stages of World War II. The bomber fared well until the Battle of Britain, when its weak defensive armament was exposed. Nevertheless, it proved capable of sustaining heavy damage and remaining airborne. As the war progressed, the He 111 was used in a wide variety of roles on every front in the European theatre. It was used as a strategic bomber during the Battle of Britain, a torpedo bomber in the Atlantic and Arctic, and a medium bomber and a transport aircraft on the Western, Eastern, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African Front theatres.
The He 111 was constantly upgraded and modified, but became obsolete during the latter part of the war. The German Bomber B project was not realised, which forced the Luftwaffe to continue operating the He 111 in combat roles until the end of the war. Manufacture of the He 111 ceased in September 1944, at which point piston-engine bomber production was largely halted in favour of fighter aircraft. With the German bomber force virtually defunct, the He 111 was used for logistics

I hope you guys enjoyed my creation! This took me 4 days to make and I am simply proud of what I did. It is made so all devices can withstand. With an actual realistic fully functional interior? Expecting it to lag? NO, it consists of approximately 322 parts! Pretty impressive if I do say so myself. I hope you guys enjoy this lovely bomber as much as I did creating it. See you next time <33

This is really awesome good job
This is a very nice he-111 but the nose should be off to the right a little bit
Thank you sir! I appreciate your suppport, helps me keep moving forward! @AureddSkei
beautiful
Yeah i figured that aswell. Not very sturdy for a German design, Atleast in my own replica. Anyways, I really appreciate your support<33 motivates me to do even more! @RusskanBushkan
Overall the build is really cool, I like the aesthetic of it and the realism inside the plane. However, it's not gonna survive very long if fired upon at, contrary to the description (did a bombing run and dogfight against a P-51D and looks like the plane becomes completely dead on controls if one flap is blown off). Other than that great job!!
@GeneralBunny no problem
Thank you! I’ll take that feedback into consideration @MrShenanigans
The wings are a little bit thin and a little bit forwarded it should be more behind but this is still good keep up the great work
